And now council staff are warning people not to use “cheap deals” to take their waste away.

'Absolutely no excuse'

Ward councillor Ashley Govier previously said there was “absolutely no excuse for such environmental crime” and that although alley gates had been introduced at other lanes in Grangetown, it could not be done on this lane as businesses use it and part of it is owned by Network Rail.

Enforcement officers have searched the waste and fines will be issued against its owner.

An investigation has also been launched into whoever disposed the waste. The council said a prosecution could also follow.

'Unacceptable behaviour'

“Anyone who engages in this type of activity should understand that we will issue fines and pursue prosecutions as part of our zero tolerance approach.

“We would advise residents to be wary of companies offering cheap deals to dispose of their waste as these offers will often directly result in the fly tipping of waste. It is really important that all residents and businesses help us to keep Cardiff tidy by disposing of their waste in a responsible manner like the majority do.
